It is the 15th practice to hand back its contract in Northern Ireland within the past year
Urgent action needs to be taken to save GP services in Northern Ireland, the British Medical Association has said.
Dr Alan Stout, BMA NI GP committee chair, said: “This is becoming an increasingly desperate situation for general practice in Northern Ireland, its staff and the patients we care for.”He added: “Such is the speed and number of these contract hand-backs – 15 in the past year alone, affecting tens of thousands of patients – that this is in danger of becoming the norm.
He added: “Urgent action needs to be taken now to save general practice before we are past the point of no return. “In some circumstances, health and social care trusts can take over a GP contract as an interim solution.
